Drifting in Order to Write
Since I am advocating for ways to stay engaged with writing, drifting may seem a strange interlude. Yet, I find drifting to be a vital companion state to writing. For me, usually drifting occurs when I have set aside all devices and am absorbed in some wholly different task, such as gardening, chauffeuring or waiting for children, or simply watching birds congregate at the feeder.

Why Write About Writing?
Writing often occurs in isolation, so it can be challenging for novice academics to learn about what goes on behind the scenes. Additionally, mentors such as faculty often have their struggles with writing and may not want to be public about this. Even the most productive author may go through times where little writing gets produced as they strive to balance personal life with academic demands.
